Meghan McCain Thinks Wanda Sykes Jokes Were Dis-Tasteful
Posted on 12. May, 2009 by CSS.
Conservative blogger Meghan McCain, the daughter of former Republican presidential nominee John McCain, says she’s offended by a joke told by Wanda Sykes during the comedian’s controversial set at the White House Correspondents Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday.
“Sen. McCain gave you grief about the new helicopters you didn’t order. I think Mr. McCain was a little bitter because he wanted to be in the new helicopters. Mr. McCain, I’m sure if you ask nicely, your wife will buy you a new helicopter,” Sykes quipped alluding to the family wealth of heiress Cindy McCain.
“I didn’t like the joke about my mom,” Meghan McCain told NY Daily News Gatecrasher column after the dinner. “Why talk about her at all? I (didn’t mind the jokes) about my dad, but leave my mom out of it. It really wasn’t in good taste.”

Posted on 10. May, 2009 by CSS.
Making the trip to the nation’s capitol, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes hit up the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC on Saturday night (May 9).
Joining a star-studded guest list, the “Top Gun” stud and his “Mad Money” wife kindly greeted fans and posed for pictures as they made their way inside the swanky affair.
TomKat joined fellow celebrities including Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Alicia Keys, Eva Longoria, Whoopi Goldberg and Sting, among many others turning up at the White House for the night’s festivities.
Last night comedian Wanda Sykes gave an extremely partisan performance at the Dinner, where she roasted just about everyone in Washington-you can see for yourself below:
The part sparking particular scorn would be in the second video when Wanda bashes Rush Limbaugh as an extra terrorist in the 9/11 tragedies.

Wanda Sykes Comes Out Of The Closet In Protest Of Proposition 8!
Posted on 16. Nov, 2008 by CSS.
Wanda Sykes is a lesbian.
The Emmy-winning comedienne confessed that she is gay to a crowd of more than 1,000 people rallying outside a gay community center in Las Vegas on Saturday. Wanda further surprised the protesters by announcing that wed her wife in California on October 25. The stand-up comic, who divorced her husband of seven years in 1998, has never publicly discussed her sexual orientation.
Wanda says the passage of Proposition 8, a government amendment to ban same-sex marriage in California, has compelled to be open about who she is.
“You know, I don’t really talk about my sexual orientation. I didn’t feel like I had to. I was just living my life, not necessarily in the closet, but I was living my life,” Sykes explained to the crowd.
“Everybody that knows me personally they know I’m gay.”
“I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked — our community was attacked,” she told the crowd.
“Now, I gotta get in their face. I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be a black woman, and I’m proud to be gay.”
I love Wanda Sykes I think she is hilarious, especially on ‘The New Adventures of The Old Christine’
Below is a video of Wanda from an episode of ‘Ellen’ she did over Halloween talking about proposition 8- check it out very funny!
